Kapton tape for snow at night

and riding snow at night I prefer high-cri light it is much
easier on the eyes than bright white

well I started riding with cool white LED and kapton tape as
a filter, making a pure yellow beam. just covered up the front of the light and trimmed the excess

wow

a) I can find my way around the trails just as well as no filter, in fact I think I am a better snow rider as a result

b) I can stay out staring at that reflection and my eyes friggin love it,
no more strain from staring at too bright snow, especially for long rides....

so, just an idea. if you did not already know, kapton makes a pure yellow beam and is not affected by hot LED...won't melt or wrinkle, and makes being blinded by 'led and snow 'at night a thing of the past

yellow like the smileys on this forum

Been years since I've ridden on good hard pack or on a snow covered trail but when I last did I remember thinking, "Gee, I don't need a really bright output to ride on snow".
Snow of course is highly reflective. That said your normal optics and higher outputs aren't necessarily the best thing to use when riding in snow.

Yellow tape is an interesting idea if you don't own a lamp with an emitter in the *lower NW output range. When I say lower I mean in the 4000 kelvin range or below. Last year I discovered I could cut out the bottom of one of my old prescription bottles and use the plastic as an "amber lens". It works if you like a cheap amber lens.
